Companions, no, not really, they do not need 186 or even 180 gears. And do they even benefit from set bonuses?

But a dozen Alts + Bind_to_Legacy = NEED NEED NEED! Totally kidding tho.

In pugs I need for the toon and spec I am on. Among my friends, we just figure out who benefits most. Letting your friends have the best gear means they can carry your lazy butt through the ops.

Not quite. There is no "Bound on Equip," just "Bind on Equip," which is freely tradeable, not character specific, and there is little reason not to let it be put in a Legacy vault.

Perhaps you are thinking of "Bound" gear?

I think players can posses four types of gear, from a binding perspective:
  • Bound - can be used on the toon that has it or (for non-CM) sold to a vendor.
  • pseudo-Bound - two subtypes here, 1. Operation drops that, for 2 hours, can be traded among the toons in the Op when it dropped, or 2. Comm gear which is refundable for a limited amount of time (e.g. PvP comm gear). These become Bound when the timer expires.
  • Bound to Legacy - can be transferred between toons in your Legacy, even cross-faction. I've never tried to vendor it.
  • Bind on Equip - can be freely traded and sold, converts to Bound if you put it on, add an augment slot, or add/remove modifications/dye to it.

Of these, I personally expect Legacy vaults to only accept the last one or two types.

Note that you cannot possess Bind on Pickup gear: the act of taking possession makes it Bound or pseudo-Bound.

I actually believe it was self-explanatory.

When I used - or coined if you fancy it the most - the term "Bound on Equip", I was referring to the fact that the item itself will become bound to the specific character, with no chance whatsoever of being traded around, in the same fashion as stuff which becomes "Bound on Pickup" as well, to a specific character.

I understood it, but new players might not. So I provided correction and elaboration.

I don't think it matters much as Bound on Equip would mean the item becomes bound to you when you equip it.

Here's what you're actually asking for: You want Bioware to change all BoP gear to BoL

At least be up front about your desires.

Credit sinks are a necessary part of the game. The GTN is not a truly effective credit sink as it prinarily moves credits from one player to another. Even the commission the GTN charges is ineffective as a credit sink.

If you have a source for your comment that the way banks function is being completely changed, please provide it. I may have missed it, but I do not recall anything from BW stating that banks are undergoing any changes.
the whole housing system is one HUGE credit sink. if they expect it to be worth anything they will have to make it do something worth while. if the only use is to transfer mats between alts, no one other than a few rp'ers will spend the millions of credits to purchase one. if they need to add credit sinks they could always add repairs to pvp. that should help.

What you really want is for all BoP gear in the game to be converted to BoL gear.

If you really think this is a change that should be made, present an argument for it.
I did present an argument for it. All BoP on cosmetic gear does is keep us from being able to have the look we want when transferring gear between characters. There is no reason for this limitation and is just frustrating overall.
